Former Syracuse basketball player Chris McCullough signs with team in China

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Chris McCullough, the former Syracuse University basketball player, has signed with a pro team in China, according to reports.

McCullough will play for the Shanxi Brave Dragons in the Chinese Basketball League. The team is located in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Sportando, a website that covers international basketball, first reported McCullough's deal with the Chinese club.

McCullough, a 6-foot-11 forward, played at Syracuse during the 2014-15 season. He appeared in just 16 games before suffering a season-ending knee injury.

Despite the injury, he still entered the 2015 NBA draft. The Brooklyn Nets selected him with the No. 29 overall pick.

McCullough has played in 57 NBA games with the Brooklyn Nets and the Washington Wizards. He became a free agent after the 2017-18 season. He played for the Philadelphia 76ers during the NBA's Summer League and had been in the Detroit Pistons' training camp until the team waived him over the weekend.
